Teachers should see digital technology as a medium for learning something new. It is not necessary to be an expert in digital media at first, but see it as a continuous process of learning. This will happen only when the educational institution itself supports learning atmosphere for teachers inside and outside campus. Only when teachers are given time and freedom this can happen but the use of digital medium also need to be monitored for over use.

Teachers should try learning through new mediums and think outside their comfort zone for trying something new. Most of the learning can get help through videos and tutorials available online.
